Learning Disabled Children
Aided by NY Federation
By BEN GALLOB
(Copyright 1984, JTA, Inc.)
Hundreds of children
with learning disabilities in
New York Jewish families
are being helped by agen-
cies of the New York Feder-
ation of Jewish Philan-
thropies.
A federation spokesper-
son said that the key is
recognition that the prob-
lem exists, and that once
this happens, various feder-
ation agencies provide
diagnosis, evaluation and
treatment. Such programs
include individual tutoring
when requried, vocational
training, and
psychotherapy to help the
children develop self-
confidence and social skills.
Symptoms include
mirror-writing, dyslexia
(reading and language dis-
abilities), discalcula (simi-
lar problems with num-
bers), hyperactivity, and
problems of coordination
and balance, perception,
reasoning and memory.
Even gifted children can
have these problems, ex-
perts said.
Nathan Solomon, a
psychologist for the
Jewish Board of Family
and Children's Services
(JBFCS) asserted that
"parents should suspect
a learning disability if
their child has chronic
learning problems which
do not see consistent with
the child's intelligence."
The Learning Disabilities
Center at Manhattan's Beth
Israel Medical Center
makes use of the center's
departments of psychiatry
and rehabilitation
medicine. Neuromuscular
tests are given to
youngsters, in addition to
the psychiatric and dis-
abilities evaluations. Chil-
dren are sent to occupa-
tional therapists, speech
therapists or family
therapists. Some are sent
for private treatment.
Other federation medical
centers with such programs
are Mount Sinai in Manhat-
tan, Montefiore in the
Bronx, and Maimonides in
Brooklyn, which has special
outpatient services for such
children.
